Description
A widespread assertion in Catholic circles today is that one can disregard the teachings of Pope Francis or the Second Vatican Council if they teach something that seems to go against tradition. Is this the case? In this book, Pedro Gabriel proves that tradition is often confused with novelty. He also shows how several heresies of the past have historically claimed to be more traditional than the living magisterium.
Testimonials:
"Pedro Gabriel displays the same admirable qualities found in his other writings, viz., careful research, clear argumentation, and charitable but cogent refutations of the false claims made by papal critics. Although Dr. Gabriel is very well-versed in theology, he is a medical doctor... by training and profession. In Heresy Disguised as Tradition, his medical training is apparent. He is able to diagnose the cancer of false theology disguised as tradition and expose its pathological qualities." -- Dr. Robert Fastiggi, Professor of Systematic Theology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit, Michigan
"Pedro Gabriel has the gift of giving transparent and honest answers to intricate questions. Now in this book he explains what Catholic Tradition is. One of the plagues of the current discussion on the Pontificate of Pope Francis are the traditionalists who do not know the tradition of the Church. To propose the same truth in a different context, in front of a different culture and of different challenges it is not enough to repeat the same words. The words are always interpreted in a context. The Catholic answer is that God has instituted through the sacrament of order and the Primate of Peter the appropriate context for the interpretation of his Message. This context is at the same time in time and out of time. Without the assistance of the Holy Spirit there can be no Tradition, or at least no Catholic Tradition. This is the reason why it is not possible to oppose the catholic Tradition to the Primate of Peter. Simul stabunt, simul cadent (together they stay or together they fall). The reader will find clear answers in a language that is easy to understand and in which a fervent love to Tradition and to the body of Christ incarnate shines through." -- Rocco Buttiglione, Member of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences and of the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas.
"Pedro Gabriel has succeeded in articulating an impassioned Catholic defense of the true Tradition against its pseudo-traditionalist deformations. Nothing could be more timely to understand - once and for all - that the Holy Spirit has not gone on vacation and constantly assists all successors of Peter in leading and governing the Church." -- Rodrigo Guerra Lopez, Secretary of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America.
"Pedro Gabriel offers a well-written and deeply researched defense of Catholic teaching in response to the errors of contemporary Catholic traditionalism. Dr. Gabriel engages directly with the arguments of radical traditionalists and offers a thorough response, leaving no stone unturned. The book emphasizes the Church's doctrines regarding the papacy, especially the crucial role of the pope in maintaining the Church's unity and as the guarantor of orthodoxy. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Catholic ecclesiology who wants to understand the ongoing debates about authority and tradition in the Church." -- Mike Lewis, Co-Founder and Editor of the website Where Peter Is.
